Amazon FBA inbound shipment workflow template

An FBA inbound shipment workflow shows the steps between deciding to send stock to Amazon and seeing it available to sell. This example splits the work into plan, prep and label, ship and receive phases, gives each phase an owner and a timing, and ends with a check that units received match units sent, plus a shipment log.

How to use this template

  1. Plan from your forecast

    Start with how many weeks of stock you want at Amazon for each SKU, then check your capacity and storage limits. Sending more than your limits allow can delay or block a shipment.

  2. Follow the current prep rules

    Check Seller Central for the latest prep, labelling and box requirements before every shipment. Rules change, and the example steps are a planning outline, not a copy of Amazon's guidance.

  3. Reconcile every shipment

    Compare units received with units sent once receiving finishes. Keep box labels and proof of delivery, because you will need them if you open a case about missing units.
